With 9i though (unless I have entirely misread it) the event system and
alert system was available to users of the standard management pack, which
came bundled with the database. The equivalent for this seems to have
disappeared under 10g. I was also looking forward to ASH and am quite
happy - this won't surprise you - to query data dictionary views myself,
however it would appear that this would break the terms of the 10g license
agreement.

coincidentally our Oracle sales rep is due to visit us shortly. I have some
questions...
